One of the strange feature Of this
campaign is that, to a MANTLE license
party admits that the whole matter
of license is morally wrong. Yet
these same men grow angry in debat-
ing in defence OF the saloon as a bust
ness necessity. They say that it will
injure the town to close the saloons,
that travelling men and farmers will
boycott the town if this movement is
successful. Now this question, as all
other public questions, should stand
or fall purely upon its merits. and
voters should not allow themselves to
be hoodwinked into anything. Let
each man think and vote for himself.
It is not for few men who are direct.
lv or indirectly interested in the sale
of intoxicants, or who stand back and
fleece the poor victim when liquor
has done ito work it is not for snch
to say whether the closing Of our
.aloons will injure Morris or not.
Each man who shall go to the polls on
next Tuesday has the right to decide
for himself, and his individual judg-
ment is much more likely to be cor
rect, than ii shaped and moulded by
the saloon men and few Shylockian
demagogues. Tho first standpoint
from which tho question should be
considered is tho moral stand point.
If it be right for saloons to exist,
then, in the name Of Justice, let us
not cast straw in their way; rather
encourage them. These advocates Of
license do not claim that they are
right. They admit that they are evils
but when suppression of these evils
affects their pockets, or where they
Imagine that it will affect them in
that very sensitive portion Of their
anatomy, they bid defiance to con-
science, and strangle every thought
of right and duty as soon as it is Civ
en- birth. If we place on one pan of
the balance, upon which such men
base their decisions, the sorrow and
restitution and misery Of scores Of
households in our county. and the
tears and prayers of the wives and
mothers In these households. along
| with the cries of abused children, to
say nothing Of the future of these
| children; and then place on the other
few paltry dollars, the dollars would
to them be far heavier than all upon
the opposite side. For shame that
men can get dollar 80 close to their
eyes that they cannot see what is for
the interest Of others around, or if
! they can see it,are SO deaf to the cries
Of conscience that they will not hear
or heed! Voters, you who have boys.
what do you think of these men who
advocate keeping open saloons to
ruin your homes. to make vagabonds
and criminals of your boys, that they
may profit by it!
But We say it (the liquor trafIic) is
an evil financially, and will try to
prove 1t; and here we are attacking
the friends Of license in their own
country, for they say it will ruin the
town. We say it will not. Which, OF
these two statements is fact!

WHAT PAYS THE TAXES.

The theory OF the surplns-sqnander-
ers at Washington is that the present
national taxes are mot felt b? the
people," and that the SlOo.O0o,0O
which they yield above the needs OF
the government may therefore rs we'll
be spent.
The idea that over $3.50 900, 900 can
be collected from the people Of this
country on top of the state and local
taxes without being "felt' ought to
be too preposterous on it's face to re-
Grire reiutal. All the federal taxes
upon consumption. even those OF the
internal revenue system. are now "in.
direct" That is. they are paid di.
rectly by the importer, the manufact-
urer or the producer. but indirectly,
yet As sure as fate, by the consumer.
\ man who pays ID cents extra on
every pound Of sugar he buys, or II
cents Il hundred on salt, or 90 per
cent, on the value OF imported cloth.
ing, or cents a pound on tobacco,
may not feel it the same as he
would if he went to q tax collector,
paid the amount and took a receipt.
But it comes out of him when added
to the price Of the article, as of course
It inevitably is.
To show what pays the taxes is to
indicate who pays them. There we're
collected during 1885 the following
sums from imported articles:
Average duty, Amount
Articles per cent. OF tax.
Cotton manu- fact ures. .......40 sl0.e32, FAC

Leather and manufactures of58 $500 ,224
Silk, manufactures OF. oo l4,ooo,ooo
With the exception Of the last Item
and it Is a very poor family indeed
that does not buy silk in some form
these are all articles of universal
use and necessity. Men must pay
these taxes irrespective Of their pro-
perty or paying capacity-that is, the
mechanics family pays the same tax
upon its sugar. salt or blankets that
the milionaire's family does. The
report of the Bureau of Statistics
shows that for l885-and the proper
ton holds good in every year-of the
